The Claim

What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
US adults who eat about 33.7 grams of tree nuts daily have, on average, a 0.49 kg/m² lower BMI and a 0.04% lower HbA1c than those who eat about 7.09 grams daily.
See the scientific wording
Among US adults, consuming an average of 33.7 grams of tree nuts per day is associated with a 0.49 kg/m² lower BMI and a 0.04% lower HbA1c compared to consuming only 7.09 grams per day, suggesting a modest but statistically significant association between higher tree nut intake and improved metabolic markers.
Eating more tree nuts makes you feel full faster and keeps your blood sugar from spiking after meals, which leads to less overall calorie intake and better blood sugar control over time.
What the research says
1 studyPeople who eat about an ounce of tree nuts every day tend to have slightly lower body weight and slightly lower blood sugar than those who eat very little, even when accounting for other healthy habits — and this study found exactly that in a large group of US adults.
